Boy, Oh Boy

This is what I discovered: Boys don’t like clothing. They don’t like to shop for clothing, they don’t want to pick out clothing, they don’t want to have anything to do with clothing.

Exception to the rule: When I took my son for his first suit, he was a bit excited. But the excitement was short lived. He had a look of pure horror when he found out that he had to go to the tailor to get the suit shortened, which meant that he had to try on the suit again, then take it off, and then put his own clothing back on. It was back to status quo — not liking clothing.

There is a plus side to this. Shopping for clothing doesn’t require too much imagination — black pants, khaki pants, blue pants, and shirts that match all three.

That said, my boys have a hard time finding pants that fit.
